Reaction Concentration and Time for Zero Order and Second Order Reactions

ZERO ORDER REACTION: There is a misprint in the book. Page 312, [A] =[A0]-kt is correct, the book is wrong. Rearranging, we have [A] =-kt +[A0] which is of the form y=mx+b, where x and t are related, y= [A], m = -k, and b=[A0]. This is a straight line relation.
